The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
Now that we are on to the weekend, it is typical for the challenges to have you going through every single game mode of Reach. Today is no different. The only challenge that will have you in the Firefight Matchmaking mode, however, is this one. A hundred and fifty kills is a somewhat dubious position, to be honest. A typical game in the Score Attack playlist will get you about a hundred and twenty kills and a game in the Firefight playlist even less. Therefore, expect to play two games to complete this challenge. The second game can be Crashsite as that will allow you to get the kills you need and then end the game by dying or letting the generator explode.

Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Thankfully, this challenge is very, very easy and should only take a single game to complete. The trick is to make sure that you are using the rights playlist and gametype for the challenge. For our purposes, needing kills with precision weapons (DMR, Sniper Rifle, Needle Rifle, and Covenant Beam Rifle), we will want to play in either the Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlist which use the Sniper Rifle and DMR respectively. Five kills will be easy enough to hit in a single game as you should be hitting ten to fifteen kills per game anyway. One game and then just move on to the other challenges.

The Challenges:
Deadeye - Kill 100 Players with a headshot. - 2500 XP
To score a headshot in War Games, you will need a headshot capable weapon. In Halo 4, these include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Magnum Pistol, the Sniper Rifle, the Covenant Carbine, the Beam Rifle, the Light Rifle, and the Binary Cannon. Now, usually when we see this challenge, it is asking for twelve or so kills so they have upped the ante a lot today. Complete "Take The Hill!" first as you are likely to score some headshots there as it will take a lot of games to complete. Afterwards, the easiest way to score these headshots will be in a gametype like SWAT where almost all of the kills are headshots. Just play normally while you amass these headshots. It should not take more than eight or ten games.

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
So, the other challenges today will not take care of this challenge. Like, at all. All total, you may get thirty to forty kills from those challenges leaving you still well short of the a hundred and eighty needed for this challenge. However, we do have the Weekly Challenge, which has you playing at least three or so games of Firefight Matchmaking a day, unless you went ahead and finished it already. If that is so, then you will have to play a game or two in the Score Attack playlist to finish this challenge off. Get to it.

No 'I' in Team - Earn 8 assists in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Eight assists in is normally not a challenge, but eight assists in a single game sure is challenging. Multi Team is really the best option for this challenge and you will need to have the right mindset to complete this challenge. Do not go for kills. As simple as that. Now, I know that is a hard mindset for most people playing this game. However, if you are attacking a player in a well populated area and stop right when bringing down the shields, you will likely get an assist. Throw a grenade at some and then turn your attention to someone else. As well, stick near your teammates since they will always love to steal your kills. Eight might be hard to hit, but keep at it with the right mindset and you should have it in a couple games.

The Challenges:
One, Two, Three, Four... - Earn 10 Multikill medals. - 1500 XP
A multikills in Halo 4 is earned when you score multiple kills each within four and a half seconds of each other. These are decidedly less common in Halo 4 than they were in Reach so you really need to set up the right gametype and such to score them. Now, having access to large number of enemies and heavy weapons is a great way to score multikills. Grifball is back so that is definitely an option for this challenge. I am somewhat doubtful that a lot of multikills will be scored when going for the "Infected" challenge due to how much harder it is to kill Zombies in Halo 4 so work on this one first. Ten multikills should take about two or three games to complete.

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
I like days like today. It is, first off, a Firefight Thursday and Firefight it probably one of the most enjoyable FPS gaming modes to come around in the last decade. Secondly, even though we have some very hefty challenges, they are going to completely take care of this challenge. You need a hundred and fifty kills in Firefight Matchmaking today, overall, not in a single game. The "A Walk in the..." challenge will be bringing in a thousand or so kills with the "Grunt Spelunking" challenge bringing in another a hundred or so. Seems like the hundred and fifty needed for this challenge will not really be a problem.

Survivor - Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is earned when you score ten kills in a row without dying. You can get up to five sprees, four short of what you need for this challenge, by scoring fifty kills without dying. You should be scoring these quite easily so this challenge should take little time to complete. This challenge does not stipulate just Killing Sprees so weapon and other miscellaneous sprees will also count. Once you hit fifty kills I would just die so you can start those sprees over and have this done in no time flat. 2X Score Attack and Gruntpocalypse are the preferred gametypes for this challenge. You will likely get this done while working on the other two main challenges today, "A Walk in the..." and "Grunt Spelunking."

The Challenges:
To Be Precise - Get 20 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 1000 XP
Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, some playlists, like SWAT, have you exclusively using these weapons and these are your best bets for completing these challenges. As all these games require sixty kills now, but your average number of kills should jump up a little, though twenty kills will remain out of range for most players in a regular game. As well, objective gametypes are good for this challenge as there is no kill limit and you can exclusively use a precision weapons in your loadouts. These do not need to be done in a single game however, so just try to have fun.

The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 4000cR
Well, four-hundred kills today in any game mode of Reach. To be honest, this is another day where the regular daily challenges will not take care of this for you. The Weekly Challenge, on the other hand, should definitely fill in that space. The daily challenges will bring in about a hundred or so for "The House of Blue Leaves," none for "Nature vs. Nurture," and maybe thirty or so for "Oops! All Kills." The Weekly Challenge will likely bring in about three-hundred and sixty or so kills. So, you will need all of them today to finish this one off.

The House of Blue Leaves - Kill 88 enemies in a single Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic. - 2500cR
So, this one is actually not much of a challenge, to be honest, but the older version was for almost two-hundred kills, so I am not complaining. Eighty-eight kills in Firefight Matchmaking is actually a pretty small amount of kills and can be accomplished in practically any of the Firefight playlists. 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist are likely your best bets to complete this challenge. You can also jump into the standard Firefight playlist which I am not recommending for this challenge, but I know that some people like having a large team for Firefight. Regardless, this should only take a single game to complete.
